Wanna know before anyone else who Romney will pick as his VP? There's an app for that

Mitt Romney's campaign has released an application for both iPhone and Android that is supposed to alert users of his vice presidential running mate before anyone else knows. Of course, this probably won't work. The hungry hippo news media will likely find out beforehand and print the word everywhere faster than you can even load the app. But it's a cute thought anyway.

"It’s a question everyone’s asking: who will be Mitt Romney’s VP?" the app's description reads. "There’s no telling when that answer might come. But when it does, be the first to find out and access exclusive content with the Mitt’s VP app."

It's available on iTunes here.
